About Pund-It™

How IT products and services impact the market and how customers perceive them often falls far short of expectations. As a result, many vendors engage Pund-IT™ to sharpen, deepen and expand their strategic messaging efforts.

Why Pund-IT™? Charles King, Pund-IT’s president and principal analyst, has deep communications expertise that makes him a valuable and trusted asset for clients. In addition, Charles regularly speaks with the mainstream and technical media on topics from emerging IT products to continuing market trends.

Charles helps some of IT’s largest and most innovative companies craft their product and service strategies in three simple steps:

Investigate—Work closely with the client to understand their goals and solutions and then sharpen messaging collateral to achieve those ends.

Interpret—Develop a deeper context for the product, including its place in the client’s portfolio, its position in relation to competitors’ products and its likely impact on the broader market.

Inform—Leverage information channels, including Pund-IT™ publications and IT industry and general business news outlets to maximize message clarity and expand its impact.

In all Pund-IT™ engagements, the goal is to help cut through hype, promote better understanding and provide actionable insights.
